There has been a military coup in Niger:

Niger’s military said it suspended the constitution and dissolved government institutions after overthrowing the regime of President Mamadou Tandja.

The coup was carried out in the name of the Supreme Council for the Restoration for Democracy, military spokesman Abdul Karim Goukoye told reporters at a late-night briefing in an army camp in the capital, Niamey. He didn’t say who had led the coup.

…………

Tandja dissolved parliament in May and assumed emergency powers after the Constitutional Court rejected his call for a referendum to change the constitution to eliminate term limits. In July, he disbanded the court after it ruled a third time against his plans to serve a third term.

Not clear as to who the good guys are in this whole thing, or even if there are any good guys in this whole thing.
